for me

I am early for almost nothing.  As I have gotten older, I am far better at being on time, but I still JUST make it most of the time.  As you might imagine, this doesn’t make for great breakfast.  Luckily, my spouse is the king of egg breakfast.  We go through DOZENS of eggs each week.  So the early bird…gets to cook in my house.  This next Call offers benefits for being early.  So, don’t procrastinate…

I am fat obsessed–not with the fat ON me but with the fat IN my food.  In October of 2013, I threw away my weight scales.  I’m done.  My familial relationship with diabetes and my allergy to wheat has forced a reduction of many of the starchy treats I have always loved.  But, beautiful, luscious fats like butter and coconut oil have increased to help ease the transition.  As a result, MY figure is changing–from the texture and tone of my skin to slow but steady reduction of my double chin. This next Call wants to know all about your figure, of sorts.  Take a look…

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades.  I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years.  I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it.  Nothing ever worked for long.  Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes.  Go figure.  I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months.  This next Call is all about YOUR figure.  Take a look…
